Craftsman cabinets lack carved detailing or other ornamentation but display the joinery proudly — proof of the artisan at work.

"Contemporary" typically means of the moment or current, the design of right now. "Modern" refers to a specific design style from the early to mid 20th century that broke with the traditional styles of the days before the Industrial Revolution.
